eczema questions
Friday, June 13th, 2003To whom it may concern,
My name is shaheen ahmad and I am 21 years of age, and I have had eczema
since I was 2 years old. It was extremely bad when I was younger. In 1991, I
went to Pakistan with my mum and sister, when I was 12 years old. We went in
the hottest months from May-September. At first, the heat was unbearable,
slowly I got used to it.What the heat had done to my skin was that maybe, it
sweat off the dirt dry skin and the eczema. I used to have really tight,
dry, skin on my face which became exteremely dark because of my eczema.
Around my lips used to be dry, hard crusts because of my eczema. However
living in the intense heat of the sun, in Pakistan, my itching had gone, I
no longer needed my steroid cream that I so heavily relied on especially on
my face. My skin became lighter, softer and smoother. However when I came
back to England in September, my eczema came back with intense itching.
Although, living in Pakistan had helped me externally, it had not CURED me
